Show times are 8 p.m. Sept. 30-Oct. 3 and 2 p.m. Oct. 4. When Winthrop University's Department of Theatre and Dance held auditions for "Jeffrey," the opening production of its 2015-16 season, biology major Andrew Williams...
Alexis Clowney, a junior from Spartanburg, S.C., was recently named by Campus Compact to the 2012 Class of Newman Civic Fellows. Clowney created SCOPE: Students Challenging Others to Promote Education, a successful student-led...
Characterizing the masses and orbits of near-Earth-mass planets is crucial for interpreting observations from future direct imaging missions (e.g., HabEx, LUVOIR). Therefore, the Exoplanet Science Strategy report recommended...
This paper presents a general analysis and a concrete example of the catastrophic case of a discontinuity-induced bifurcation in so-called Filippov nonsmooth dynamical systems. Such systems are characterized by discontinuous...

The frequency spectra of the gravito-electromagnetic perturbations of the
Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole with the slowest decay rate have been computed
recently. It has been found that KN has two families $-$ the photon sphere...

In The Sight of Death art historian T. J. Clark (2006) gives an account of daily visits to the Getty Institute in Los Angeles to observe two paintings by Nicolas Poussin: Landscape with a Calm and Landscape with a Man Killed by...
When a vector field in three dimensions is discontinuous on a smooth codimension one surface, it may be simultaneously tangent to both sides of the surface at generic isolated points (singularities). For a piecewise-smooth...
It is shown that the Lambert W function cannot be expressed in terms of the elementary, Liouvillian, functions. The proof is based on a theorem due to Rosenlicht. A related function, the Wright omega function is similarly shown...
This paper is concerned with the analysis of a singularity that can occur in three-dimensional discontinuous feedback control systems. The singularity is the two-fold — a tangency of orbits to both sides of a switching manifold....

This report explores scholarship at the interface of geography and law engaging with the concept of evidence. As with the first two reports, this is not a summary of a predefined field, but rather a consideration of how ideas of...
Using the singularity theory of scalar functions, we derive a classification of sliding bifurcations in piecewise-smooth flows. These are global bifurcations which occur when distinguished orbits become tangent to surfaces of...
